Abstract: The invention relates to a purification method, comprising the following steps: —supplying a stream (6) comprising a non-ionised species, monovalent cations and divalent cations; bringing the stream (6) into contact with a first cation exchange resin (1) in sodium and/or potassium form; —collecting a first fraction (7) which contains the non-ionised species and is enriched in monovalent cations and depleted of divalent cations with respect to the stream (6); —bringing the first fraction (7) into contact with a second cation exchange resin (2) in hydronium form; —collecting a second fraction (8) which contains the non-ionised species and is depleted of monovalent cations with respect to the first fraction (7); —regenerating the second cation exchange resin (2) with a sulphuric acid solution (10); —collecting a first regeneration effluent comprising at least one fraction A, the fraction A comprising sodium and/or potassium ions; and —recycling the fraction A to regenerate the first cation exchange resin (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating sugar comprising: placing a coloured sugar juice in contact with an ion exchange resin so as to charge the resin with colouring agents and to collect a bleached sugar juice; regenerating the colouring-charged resin, comprising: placing the charged resin in contact with a regeneration brine comprising a chloride salt; and collecting a regeneration effluent, the regeneration effluent comprising at least three fractions A, B and C, fraction A having a higher concentration of chloride salt than fractions B and C; and recycling the regeneration effluent, comprising: nanofiltration of fraction A of the regeneration effluent in order to obtain a first permeate and a first retentate; diafiltration of the first retentate, said diafiltration comprising: dilution of the first retentate with the fraction B of the regeneration effluent; nanofiltration of the mixture in order to obtain a second permeate and a second retentate; mixing of the first permeate with the second perme

Abstract: A process is disclosed for separating biomolecules from an aqueous solution containing the biomolectules and impurities, having different affinities and/or interactions with a solid support. The solution is passed over a fixed bed of chromatographic resin containing at least three zones, with flow of liquid being arranged between adjacent zones and between a last and first zone. Each of several sequences includes at least an adsorption stage, a rinsing stage, or a desorption stage, with each subsequent sequence being carried out by a downstream displacement of fronts in the zones by approximately the same increment before the periodical displacement of the introduction and withdrawal points.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is separation on a solid support by multi-column sequential selective retention in order to separate a product of interest from a solution containing such a product of interest, by passing this solution over a fixed chromatographic resin bed comprising at least three zones, liquid flow means being placed between adjacent zones and between the last zone and the first zone, this process comprising several sequences, each sequence comprising at least one step chosen from an absorption step, a rinsing step and a desorption step, carried out either simultaneously or not, each following sequence is carried out by the displacement of the fronts in the zones towards the downstream end substantially of the same increment before the periodic displacement of the points of introduction and of withdrawal, characterized in that the process includes a sub-sequence without injection of the charge.
